It's one way to "recycle" old bread so it needn't be tossed away. These dumplings are usually eaten along side sauerkraut & pork, roast meats with the gravy, stews or some kind of sauce.

Steps to make to make Semmelknödel (German Bread Dumplings)

1. Prep your ingredients! The bread should be a day or two old, as you want something tough with almost no moisture. We can optionally dry it out in the oven (see step 3)
2. Cut up the bread into small cubes. If it's still moist, let's dry it out in the oven.
3. Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Layout the bread pieces on a baking tray or sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly dry.

6. Pour in the warm milk and mix well with your hands. If it seems a bit dry, add another tablespoon or two milk.
7. Let the mixture soak for 15 minutes. Test to see if the mixture holds together when forming a ball. If not, mix in a tablespoon or two of flour until it does.
8. Wet your hands with cold water (it keeps the mix from sticking to them!), and form about 6 large bread balls.
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add some salt, and carefully add the semmelknödel to the pot. Make sure the boil isn't too vigorous or they might fall apart.
